Red. Blood. Life

Red... I was looking back at my recent work and see it has been all about red. What is it about RED and what it says on a truly "cellular" level. So primal. Evokes so many emotions. Such deep connotation, and so beautiful. The above image looks like lucious candy, red dried apricots, rose petals, open vessels with subtle folds and curves. They are, of course, red blood cells. Fundamental to life. Circulating with every unconcious beat of our heart as we live our complicated lives. Simple beauty in colour and form. Painfully beautiful.
